RM218 mil suit against Umno: Company fails again
- 9 years ago
The appellate court in Putrajaya has dismissed an appeal by Elegant Advisory Sdn Bhd to reinstate its RM218 million suit against Umno, for alleged non-payment of election campaign paraphernalia.
Court of Appeal judge Justice Tengku Baharudin Shah Tengku Mahmud - sitting with Justice Abu Samah Nordin and Justice Sulong Matjeraie - delivered the unanimous decision.
Justice Tengku Baharuddin said Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Justice Anantham Kasinater had made the right decision in striking out the case on Sept 10 last year.
"Although we felt the judge had gone overboard in looking at the merits of the case at the preliminary stage, there is basis as the claim did not include material facts vital to the application," he said.
